Chevrolet Corvair (1961) for Sale in NY

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier is a unique and versatile eight-door passenger van that has been refurbished and thoughtfully refreshed while retaining its distinctive vintage character. Finished in an eye-catching two-tone turquoise and white, it stands out with classic styling and rare configuration. The body was refinished during the refurbishment, which also included replacement of the roof using a donor panel. New glass and window seals were installed, and the van features multiple access points with rear ambulance-style doors as well as dual side doors for convenient entry to the passenger area. Steel wheels are color-matched and fitted with period-style full wheel covers and whitewall tires, completing the vintage look. Inside, the cabin is configured to seat up to nine passengers across three rows of bench seating upholstered in factory-style materials. The interior maintains a functional and period-correct feel, complemented by durable rubber flooring. A cassette player with auxiliary input has been added for modern usability. Power comes from a rear-mounted 2,375cc flat-six engine that was overhauled during the refurbishment, including updates to internal components and rebuilt carburetors. The engine is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, providing an engaging and distinctive driving experience unique to Corvair models. Additional mechanical work has included replacement of braking components, wheel bearings, shocks, and fuel system parts, along with the addition of a rear sway bar and a taller rear axle ratio for improved cruising.
